About Robert and Mary Hopkins

We did the usual Disney bit when our kids were young but found the chill out week on the South West coast the biggest attraction. The quality and pace of life really attracted us then and nothing hs changed. Both my wife and I work in very demanding jobs. Sunset Hideaway is the place where we both really relax. I`m sure you will find the same.

Robert and Mary Hopkins purchased this villa in 2007

Why Robert and Mary Hopkins chose Rotonda West

Sitting on the lani watching the canal flow by with all the wildlife is positively the best thing I can imagine. It keeps us going through the long winter nights.

What makes this villa unique

Everything you need is there including every possible appliance, towels, bikes (4), a library of books and DVDs etc etc

Guestbook comments from the owner

A fantastic and relaxed holiday we experienced during our stay for 10 days in the villa.

All the needs for comfortable living are present. A great location, well decorated and furnished rooms. Nice beaches on a short drive by car.

Visiting a “Stone Crabs” baseball match is an must to do.

Thanks to Mary and Robert Hopkins for the correct and helpfull handling !

Wonderful!4.8/5 -

Beautiful villa!

What a beautiful home this is! Everything so carefully thought out and catered for - right down to the box of pool toys on the lanai! Everything was spotlessly clean and felt like a home the moment you walked through the door!!

We have stayed in many villas in the past and this is up there as one of the best!

The pool area was perfect to sit and watch the sun rise from and listen to the bird world wake - and then was still in the sun all day! When we are lucky enough to return to Rotonda - which hopefully won't be too long - we wouldn't hesitate to book this home again!!

Relaxing holiday

Just returned from our second stay at this villa. It is a very clean and comfortable home, an ideal place to relax. We love the Rotonda area and this is a perfect base from which to explore. The owners are very easy to deal with and we certainly hope to return.

Clean, Comfortable and Spacious home

Just wanted to let you know that we enjoyed our vacation and our stay at your house in Rotonda West. It was every bit as nice as we expected.The beds were comfortable and there were ample linens available. The kitchen was well equipped for those times when we wanted to dine in but there were several restaurants close by for when we wanted to eat out.

We loved the wildlife in the area and all the different species of birds, such as Eagels, Owls and great Blue Herons to mention a few. The house is in a quiet neighborhood, close to several golf courses and a nice trail to walk, jog or bike along. The lanai had lots of room and plenty of chairs to lounge around the pool. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and would recommend this house to anyone.

Owner's Response: We really enjoyed having you to stay too and we are delighted that you enjoyed the house. We take great care to keep it to a high standard and visit as often as we can, it really is our 'home from home'. We both hope that if you are down this way again, you would consider staying at our home again. You would be extremely welcome.

Great place to stay

We stayed here in January 2016. The house was just as described and very clean and homey. The pool was kept clean and warm to our liking. Very comfortable living and nice quiet neighborhood. We didn't have a single problem or issue with anything maintenance wise. If there was any negative it would be that the master bedroom tv is just a little bit too small. An upgraded tv in that room would be the only thing but otherwise everything was perfect, clean and we had a great time. I would recommend staying here and the owners were a delight to work with from moment of booking through departure. They were very responsive and friendly. Highly recommend.

Owner's Response: Thank you so much for your review and we appreciated your comments, both about the maintenance and about our communication with you. You too have been lovely to work with and we very much hope to see you again. We have been considering upgrading the TV in the master bedroom and possibly transferring the tv currently in there to elsewhere in the house. However, we are doing some maintenance in the summer to the pool and that is our first priority. We appreciate the comment very much though and will take a good look at it once we've done the work on the pool!

Great family vacation

We experienced a very nice and relaxed vacation in this beautiful , clean and well furnished and decorated villa . All needs for comfortable living are present.

A great location in a guiet neighbourhood. A choose of beaches on a short drive by car, and many other places to visit. The "Stone Crabs" baseball match we have seen is exciting.

Many thank's to the owners, Mary and Robert Hopkins, for the correct and helpfull service.

We hope to stay again in this property in the near future, and we certainly recommend it to friends.

Owner's Response: We love to share our home with guests and it's very special to us when they enjoy the house as much as we do. The 1st baseball game we saw at the Charlotte Stadium was such a surprise, it's a real family experience isn't it! Thank you too for your kind comments about our helpful service. We do appreciate our guests and do what we can to make their holiday as enjoyable as possible. We both hope you will return again in the future.

This is a wonderful, peaceful area of Florida's gulf coast. You can sit and chill by the pool, enjoy a BBQ and enjoy watching the local wildlife, especially water birds. You can visit numerous beaches, a different beach every day of the week. For fun shopping, visit Port Charlotte or Venice, visit the outlets, or enjoy some more sophisticated shopping at St Armands Circle in Sarasota. For an exhilarating experience, hire a boat and explore the intercoastal waterway. You can drive yourself, use the services of a guide, or join one of the many boat trips available locally. This is a perfect area to cycle, it's flat and we have four good bicycles which you are most welcome to use at your own risk. We have an excellent homecare service ensuring that our home will be ready for your arrival, immaculate, lights on and with small miniatures to see you through your first night. We do have a 14/7 emergency service, but please only use this for real emergencies out of hours!

The area offers a fabulous, peaceful holiday where you can sit back and relax, but for the more adventurous, there is plenty to keep you busy! There is a play area in the centre of Rotonda if you have children and there are tennis courts for the very active. Come and visit, one stay is never enough!
